EXHAUST-HEAD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. "Z, 1909.

Application led April 21, 1908. Serial No. 428,370.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JUsrUs W. PARKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Beverly, county of Burlington, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Exhaustllead, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to an improvement in condenser heads or steam exhaust heads into which the exhaust of an engine takes place and the steam is led therethrough by a circuitous path to the outlet, during which passage it contacts with suitable deflector plates so arranged as to condense the steam and carry the water of condensation to a drip pipe from which it discharges into a sewer or appropriate receptacle.

It consists of an exhaust head provided with a novel form of deflector plates so formed and arranged as to prevent back pressure on the engine and also to hinder and delay the exit of the steam passing therethrough so that much of the steamis condensed and no spray or objectionable matter therein escapes to the exterior' thereof.

It further consists of a head wherein a means is provided to drain the water of condensation and lead it to an auxiliary discharge opening free from contact with the exhaust steam.

It further consists of other novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

For the purpose of illustrating my invention, I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the same has been found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which my invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited vto the precise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described.

Figure 1 represents a section head embodying my invention. resents a section on line cccc, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a section on line gig, Fig. 1.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings: 1 designates a casing forming the body of my exhaust head, the same being preferably drumthrough a Fig. 2 repshaped and provided with the inlet opening 2 and outlet 3. The inlet 2 has secured thereto in any suitable manner a pipe or conduit 4:, the same preferably having one end turned outwardly and forming with the rings or flanges 5 and 6 a coupling whereby the head may be properly attached in operative position. The pipe 1 passes through the inlet opening 2 and is led upwardly into the casing 1 and in the present instance is provided with an inclined portion which meets the side walls of the casing 1 and is suitably secured thereto.

Adjacent the discharge end of pipe 4 and located in the path of the discharge passing therethrough is the deflecting plate 7 extending from one side of the casing to the other and in the preferred form is hemispherical in shape in order to offer slight resistance to the exhaust steam and yet provide a broad condensing and defiecting surface. The plate 7 has formed integral therewith, side walls 8 which form therewith an inverted boxlike deflecting structure having an opening at the lower portion communi* eating with the lower part of the casing 1. The side walls 8 are spaced apart a distance somewhat greater than the diameter of the pipe t so that a slight space is provided therebetween on each side for the purpose of accommodating an angle member 9 which is lsuitably connected to the discharge end of the pipe 11 and the walls 8 thereby forming a drip channel adapted to carry olf the water of condensation. At one end these channels communicate with drain pipes 10 which are adapted to discharge their con tents near the base of the casing 1 and at substantially the extreme lower end of which is located a small auxiliary outlet 11 allowing this water of condensation -to escape from the casing. The outlet 3 in the present instance is provided with an inturned flange 12 which projects downwardly into the casing 1 and thereby forms an additional deflecting surface. Any steam which may pass the main defiecting plates 7 and 8 will pass upwardly along the side walls of the casing partly condensing thereon until such as reaches the top meets the downward projecting flange and thence to atmosphere.

The exhaust steam passes from the engine through the coupling 5 into the inclined conduit 1 along the length of which it travels and discharges into the interior of the curved boxlike structure against the upper surface 7 of which it contacts and is deflected. The remaining 4steam discharges downwardly through the opening in the bottom into the lower portion of the casing l and then again has its direction changed so that it passes upwardlyl through the casing on' the outside of the walls 8 to the exit 3. As the steam encounters the comparatively cool surface of the head structure it is partly condensed and the water of condensation collects along the sides and' runs down into the drip channels formed by the angles 9 by which it is conducted to the drain pipes 10 and discharges to the bottom of the casing l and from there runs through the outlet l1 to the exterior of the casing.

It will be apparent that I have devised an exhaust head simple in construction, efficient in operation and one in which much of the steam is condensed, so that it is especially well ad( pted for city use where neighboring roofs and the like will be damaged by the continual discharge of condensed steam and the contained impurities.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
